    It was once impossible to imagine countries without Kings. A time will come when they look back and say the same of Presidents.

        All history's rulers are less than a single leader. May we remember the difference in our modern days.

        There are in facts many many countries right NOW that don't have presidents. Sooooo rather easy to imagine.

        You're expressing a super simplified, romantic take on history. There's never been a succesful government without a non-trivial executive

        I lived in Switzerland, where they have a president in name only. They're doing alright, actually. Unitary executives are the problem.

        With respect, this may just be too complex a topic to handle on Twitter absent a presumption of good faith.

        This President is bad and all, but anarchy takes it a bit too far.

        Who said anything about anarchy? Pretty sure he's advocating a democracy without a president, like Australia.

        A Prime Minister still oversees government. If Snowden is arguing for a Parliamentary system, ok but it's a strange way to phrase it.
